Spent early afternoon at the Fire Guard #13 gravel pit. If these are your's they can be claimed as follows. 30-06 live round. Appears to be a 170 gr soft point. Head stamp is "FUU". Can't remember if that's Frankford Arsenal, or Federal... Would gladly exchange this equal to shipping- except it's hard these days to find a carrier for the live stuff. Maybe I'll just dispose of it in my usual manner- a 10.5 gr JSB Heavy domed pellet hitting the primer at 25 yds at 825 fps should light her up. .45 cal jacketed. Cannelure looks factory to my somewhat in-expert eye. There's a star mark on the base that has me thinking corbon. Possibly a bit short stroked on the powder side. Anyone know if a large pistol primer alone is enough to get one of these up the spout? I was thinking b.p. at first, but the relatively clean base and cannelure have me thinking .45 acp... Regards, Doc Sharptail |

I don't think just a primer would get it too far down the barrel. In revolvers, that scenario often leaves a bullet partially in both cylinder and barrel. SW |

i still think BP but im not the big reloader here , it seems most of my low velocity residue goes back on the case because they do not swell to close the chamber , just my 2 cents and no they are not mine |

On phone pls excuse auto correct. Jacketed seems an odd thing to do in BP unless there is a a sabot involved. Pretty strong rifling engraved on this one. I admit to being out of my element on this though.... Regards Doc Sharptail |
